Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price the job by the number of stories, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across New York, most of our customers book this in spring and fall, so the calendar is familiar to us.
Priced by stories, not by a visit. The bundle costs less than two trips, and the number on the phone is the number on the invoice.
We price this professional window cleaning and gutter job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Our window cleaners price the whole house by stories and window count, not by the pane, and windows inside are not part of this visit. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, so call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and ask for a written estimate.
On our window washing jobs, a few things move the quote. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer to reach, and that matters on multi-story buildings as much as on houses. Oversized panes and a high window count add time at the glass. Clogged gutters nobody has opened in years, or packed with needles and leaves, need more work before the flush. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are timed separately, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a stain no cleaning removes, so we tell you about it before we start. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
For a real example, one East Glenville customer had a two-story house with a sprinkler line hitting the front glass and a full run of gutters that had gone a season without cleaning. What moved that quote was the spotting on the glass and the sludge in the back downspouts, not the window count. Your own quote will turn on the same kinds of details: stories, window count, what is sitting in the gutters, and whether the glass has the kind of haze that water and dust leave behind. Send a photo of the front of the house and we can tell you which of those apply. Water damage that starts behind a sagging run is something we photograph and report, and that usually shows up on the estimate as a note rather than a line item.

For context, nationally. Angi puts the average US gutter cleaning at $168, most homeowners paying $119 to $234 (Angi, 2026). Exterior-only window cleaning runs roughly $4 to $10 per window, or $100 to $250 for a typical home, with $3 to $5 per window more on upper stories (Angi, HomeGuide, via Google AI Overview, Oct 2026). Priced by stories, the most common model, a two-story gutter cleaning sits around $150 to $300 nationally. If a quote you are holding sits far outside these, ask what is driving it.
On every house we work, the first scoop out of a gutter ends up on the wall below it. We put the glass last so it ends up there once.
Gutters first, glass last. That is the order on every job our crew does, and it is the reason we book both with one crew instead of sending two.
What we see from the ladder. When we clear a run, the leaves, the grit and the black water that sits under them come down the wall and across any window below it. Flushing a downspout throws more of it, in a stream, onto the panes beside the outlet. If the glass was washed first, someone has to wash them again before we are off the ladder. So we do the roof blow-off, clear the gutters, flush every downspout, give the wall a few minutes to stop dripping, and only then start on the glass. The panes under the downspout outlets are the last ones we touch on the house.
Two things we do differently from a window-only crew. We rinse the siding under each run before we move to the glass, so nothing left on the wall washes down onto it in the first rain. And we do the top-floor glass from the same ladder position as the gutter run, one setup per side of the house, which is where the bundle saving comes from: no second trip, no second setup.
Downspouts flushed, screens rinsed, sills wiped, bags hauled. None of it shows up as a line item.
Gutters. Roof blow-off where debris sits above the gutter line. Every run hand-cleared, not just the visible stretch from the ground. Every downspout flushed with water until it runs clear, and a blocked one cleared on the spot where it can be reached from above. A downspout that feeds a buried drain line is checked at the outlet; clearing the buried line is a separate job, quoted before anyone touches it. Debris bagged and taken away. Before-and-after photos of each run, sent to you before the crew leaves.
Windows, exterior only. Every reachable pane on the outside of the house, cleaned with a water-fed pole and purified water so the glass dries without streaks or towel lint. Frames wiped. Screens taken down, hand-rinsed and put back on request. Sills wiped. Upper-story windows done from the pole, not from a ladder leaned on the siding.
Not included, and we say so up front. Interior glass. Hard-water or sprinkler staining etched into the glass, which needs a separate mineral treatment and is quoted after the crew sees it. Post-construction paint, stickers or stucco. Skylights and solar panels. Pressure washing of siding, decks or driveways. Gutter guards: if a run is covered, lifting and reseating the guard adds time and is quoted by the foot before the visit, never on the day.
Twice a year for both, and the same two months, which is why one visit covers it.
Across New York, most customers book these cleaning services for both gutters and exterior windows twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. The spring visit runs late May to June across New York, and in East Glenville the fall visit runs October to early November. The two dates line up with the seasons that leave the most on the house.
In spring we find a dusty film on the south-facing glass, a sticky paste packed into the gutters and a grit line on the sill. In fall it is the leaf load and the wet mat that sits on the roofline until the first hard freeze. Winter storms move both dates, and across New York nor'easters do too, so we book the visit that fits the weather, not just the calendar. Spring dust and fall leaves are the two things that make a residential window look dull within weeks.
Homes with heavy tree cover over the roof need more visits. Needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings, so those customers are often on every three to four months. A sprinkler line that hits the glass needs its own check, since the spots come back a day after cleaning and no soap removes them. A house near a busy road or a construction site also collects more grime, and every window on the exposed side needs a closer schedule to keep the frames clean.
Most residential properties in our area are fine on the two-a-year plan, and regular cleanings keep clean windows looking clear between seasons. Watch for two signs that tell you it is time sooner. The first is a haze on the glass that you only notice when the sun is low in the afternoon. The second is water sheeting over the edge of the gutter in rain instead of falling into the downspout. Either one means the schedule needs a second look, and we are glad to help you choose the right interval for your property. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service, and we will confirm the visit a day ahead.
Most two-story homes are done in a morning. You do not need to be there, and you get the photos either way.
The crew calls the day before with a two-hour arrival window, and again when they are on the way.
How long. This Old House puts a professional gutter cleaning at 30 minutes to an hour on a typical house. Exterior windows on the same house run about the same again or a little more, so plan on a morning for a two-story home and most of a day for three stories or a house with a lot of glass. Gutters that have not been touched in years, steep roofs and wraparound porches run longer.
Before the crew arrives. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, so the glass is dry and the ground is not mud. Move cars off the driveway if windows face it. Keep pets inside while ladders are up. Unlock side gates. Nothing else; the crew brings its own water and power.
While they work. Gutters first, glass last, as described above. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work; the crew does not come inside. If something cannot be reached safely (a pane over a sunroom roof, a gutter run behind a tree limb) the crew photographs it and tells you rather than guessing.
After. Photos of every gutter run and the finished glass, sent by text or email before the crew leaves. The invoice matches the number quoted on the phone.
Send a photo and we tell you what it is. No argument about whether it rained.
Streaks. Purified water dries clean; a streak means something was missed, and that is on us. Send us a photo of it and we tell you what it is.
Spots that come back. Round white spots that return a day after cleaning are mineral deposits from sprinklers or hard water etched into the glass, not dirt. Cleaning cannot remove them; a mineral treatment can. The crew flags it on the visit so you are not surprised.
Rain the next day. Rain is distilled water and does not dirty clean glass by itself; what spots glass after rain is dust already on the frame or screen washing down. That is why frames and screens are done, not just the pane. If it looks worse after a storm, send the photo and we look at it.
Overflow after a cleaning. If a gutter runs clean and still sheets water over the edge in the next rain, the cause is slope, a sagging hanger or an undersized downspout, not debris. The crew notes what it saw and tells you; cleaning it again will not fix it, and we will not sell you a second cleaning for a slope problem.
Your house. Ladder stand-offs on every ladder so nothing rests on the gutter lip or dents the siding. Screens go back in the window they came out of.
Neighborhood by neighborhood, with a lead time we say out loud, and a call before the truck turns in.
We clean residential properties throughout East Glenville, and our crew has worked on houses across the neighborhoods here, from older homes near the main roads to newer properties set back from them. Our washing services cover gutters and downspouts, while our window cleaning services take in the exterior panes, sills and frames on the front and back of the house, all in one visit. Interior and exterior glass take different kinds of grime, so this visit stays on the outside.
Booking is simple. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and tell us how many stories it has and roughly how many windows face the street. We give you the estimate from that information, and we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, because the crew brings its own cleaning solutions, water and power. We do ask that the side gate is unlocked and that cars are moved off the driveway if the windows face it.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall visits, when the leaves and spring dust pile up and our calendar fills first. If you want a slot in those weeks, book early. Lead time varies with the season, and we will tell you the earliest date we can reach your house when you call.
We also handle the occasional condos and small multi-story buildings in the area, where the gutters run long and the glass is spread across several units. Runoff from a long gutter can stain a wall for years if it is not cleared, and that is one more reason to remove dirt from the roofline and the glass in one visit.
Yes, on our crew it is the same two people. We clean the gutters first, then the glass, so nothing that falls from the roof lands on a window we have already done. One visit covers both jobs.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and we give it by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the front of the house, and we will quote the job before anyone comes out.
Yes, because the outside takes the hardest hit here, and picture windows show it first. Pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spotting build up on exterior glass, and the frames and sills hold grime that the inside never sees. Cleaning the outside protects curb appeal and keeps the view clear without touching the interior.
Across New York, the spring visit falls in late May or June, and in East Glenville the fall visit runs October to early November. Those are the months when pollen and leaves build up the most.
No, because we work gutters first and glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves and grit come down the wall, so the glass is only cleaned after the roof, gutters and downspouts are finished.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the exterior job. None of these are billed as extras, and they are included in the number we give you.
Keeping interior and exterior glass separate, we clean only the outside on this visit, so windows inside the house stay as they are. We do not do pressure washing either, so the job stays focused on the outside of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 if your residential and commercial property needs more than this visit, and we will say what we can take.
You do not need to be home, since our crew works outside and does not come inside. Before we arrive, turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up and leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
